So true and funny Jaime!! Being a stay at home mom is not all rainbows and butterflies!!! I am home during the week with my kids and I work 12 hour night shifts on the weekends. I actually look forward to going to work most of the time! But of course I miss them when I’m gone. Even being home during the week, I can relate to all of the above!!! We just have to do the best we can, do what’s best for our families! No matter what, our children know we love them and would do anything for them ❤️
